ENTICING AWAY SERVANTS

1t is q grand thing to have good
ueiehbors who will observe tue
golden rule and do unto their neigh
bo,s as they would have their
ueighbors do unto them. 1t makes
ones home brighter aud life less
burdensUme. 1t has Il tendency to
make men love one another, to ele
waite them morally aud make them
better citizens. Every man knows
that thieves arc liable TO break, Ell.
ter and take, steal aud carry away
from his home aud his castle, but
no man in bis right mind will allow
snch an apprehension, without spe-
:ial cause therefor, TO disturb his
piece OF mind.
But, reader, did you eve: feel
that your neigh6ors were watching
your household aud cOvetlng that
which tended to make your home
comfortable aud happy Not only
cOyeting but devising means where
by to deprive you OF such acquls;-
tons to your household regardless
OF your loss or discomfOrture II
YOU have had such experiences, did
YOU love those neighbOrs aud did
you rest at ease aud feel at peace
with all the world.
Aud again did you ever have good
servant, faithful aud honest aud a
great luxury in your household, iu'
dispeusable to your wife on account
of her inability to personally super
wise all her household affairs trou
i'll health OF family dutiesf Ii YOU
have did your neighbors watch
your good luck IN such an acqulsl
ton and endeavOr to rob you 10y
brides, promises, etci If you have
had such experience, reader, you
coukl not he be much blamed TO SCI
your guu aud shoot the wOuld-Oe
robber whether he comes in the
night time or the day time. BE II
something worse than a bad ueigh
Dor aud more b%arrassing than ih'
thief. he is an eyesore in his com
munity, a bad citizen, u criminalil
selfish man aud y spy aud a prOwle
not TO be trusted. Bat, reader
don't kill bun. Keep your eye OF
, him aud give him a vide berth.

know OF hint just this: When
he knows what Is right IN the course
OF his duties land just here l would
say that every rational man knows
right from wrong, but it the heart
~ not what 1t was intended to be,
he will invariably hunt up this ex-
cnse aud that and try to make the
question "a perplexing one, ~stultify
conscience and feel justified in
wrong doiugl. 1 say, when be has
an official duty before him, it is per-
formed regardless of the opinion of
politicians and tricksters. IL seems
that no influence has set been sue
cessfnlly brought to bear upon our
young President, when plain duty
was before him ; and from His Ex.
celleney down, we find public posi-
tons of trust and power held by
our young men.
Look at our youthful sheriff, TO

mated by the same lcctiOn in which
he cast his first vote ; and l believe
whemFrank Lewis finds it necessary
lie will say what lie honestly be-
%lieves, do just as he says and die by
what he does. But the most pow
ertul machinery III the hands OF the
young man of today is the press.
There is where he is using a power
never heard of, and which makes
the nation tremble ; and when at
the hand of some vicious enemy he
dies at his post of duty, another is
ready to take his place, who will
speak out as boldly and uDequivo-
cally as did the former.
Now, let all our young men stand
up and dare to do right. 1t will he

loving Christian mother, and conso

last days will be so much, mucl

WHO TAKES THE CAKE.

For the benefit Of farmers ut home
and home seekers WHO doubt our
coast soil, We have taken the ton.
ble to Interview our enteIprisiug
gardener and livery stable Inau
Mr.. B. +. Pickett on the output OF
his little farm about two miles east
of Scranton. He gives us the fol-
lowing statement:
Began planting beans on the 10th
of February last and made last ship
ment May goth. Shipped 1888 boxes
OF beans. Realized net proceeds
SI64.4O after dedUUting cOmmiS-
sious, freightS, etc , and cost Of
making aud gathering crop. This
last item was as follows:
Cost of manuring and planting 49,. $%7.0O
seed. DOW
Boxes, IL ceuts each. .........--- 0l'l3
Picking. "0'VV
Total. OO'VO
He carefully measured the piece
of land upon which this crop was
made and found it 10 be Just 2lO by
$50 feet, a fraction over Que acre.
SiHce shipping his beans he has
taken off the same ground 81 tons
of hay, worth $14 per ton or $40;
cost of harvesting same about ",
net on hay $42. There is another
crop of hay an the same ground
worth net about $40. This makes
total net proceeds OH one acre Of
ground made IN eight months with
only a few weeks work and smalI
capital, net profits, beans Sl64'4O
hay $52. fatal tor the crop $2lO.4O
Now we are not sufficiently post
ed to say whether these are very
large figures for the vegetable bus
mess or not, but We have a curlosl
~ 10 know whether or not Mi
Pickett takes tue cake an the coaS
or over any other point IN the State
We have enough OF this kind o
curiosity to offer, hereby aud by
these presents, II years SuOscrlp
ton to The DEMOCRAT STAR, TO Thu
fi st man who will send us a swOrT
account of his crop or series 0
crops this year that will beat it il
net proceeds, grown anywhere il
the States of Mississippi, Alabam;
or Louisiana, to I've sent In within
The next 80 days. We will publish
the statements sent IN.
To make the cotton planter SMILE
we will just figure on shorty acre.
and a mule' at the same rate, ne
proceeds, beans $6,576, hay S2,OSO
total $3.50 OH an outlay of S3, 745,
20. And it takes much less thai
10 months in the year TO make AM
harvest the crop. In tact the invest
mput is returned with 200 per cent
profit iu about three months. W.
know this is large figuring but u"
out Of reason at all.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP. F"

This was the subject discussed at the
regular monthly meeting of the Univers-
alist pastors in this city and vicinity,
held week ago at the Western Branch.
Devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. N. A. Alcott, of Elgin. Rev. G. s.
Nickerson presided. Rev. Miss. Florence
E. Kollock, OF Englewood, read the paper.
1t was brief and pointed and placed the
emphasis on the duty of our churches to
increase their membership for the spirit
ual good OF the parishes and higher life of
the individual Christian. The paper is
given complete on the second page.
The paper read, brief discussion fol-
flowed. Mr.. Alcott pronounced himself
in entire sympathy with the leading idea
of the paper. Thought it was duty OF
the liberal people to connect themselves
with the church. Miss Chaplin also
thought we should emphasize this duty
of increasing our memb ership. Not more
than one quarter of our strength was
represented in our statistics. She believ-
ed in revival efforts. Mr.. Conklin spoke
from experience. His work was only
successful when he gave attention to this
duty. 1t was the apostolic way to begin
our work. Mr.. Small believed in the
church as an organization for the erring
ones of the world. There must be unity
Of action; loving regard for the mem
bership. Mr.. Nickerson asked as to how
far and how much the duty of church
membership should bs urged on our
people now outside of the church. DR.
Cantwell remarked, you can never sue.
coed in building up church without faith
in the essential ideas, of Christianity and
the church. The re must be founda-
ton for the building. Messrs. Hanson,
Conklin and Alcott continued the dis.
cussion in a conversational way for a
brief season. 1t was an interesting and
profitable session.

A NEW CHURCH FOR ENeLEwoop.

Last week the initial part of the enter
prise of new church for Rev. Florence
e. Kollock's parish in Englewood was
started. This will be good Christmas
news for our readers. A lot has been
purchased in another part of the town,
and last week the ladies raised some $3.50
toward the purchase money and on Sun
day some $1,000 more was pledged by
members Of the parish.
The new church will be built in the
near future. The present property is
valuable and will probably be sold for
enough to pay for the new building. The
possession of the lot, and the payment OF
$1,000, ensures the ultimate success OF
the enterprise. The new church will
soon be reality.
Congratulations to all on this progress.
sive movement. 1t means business and
a solid prosperity in the parish for many
years to come.

king almost discrowned, trembling be-
fore rival who has ravished him of
half his kingdom, and who smites his
subjects at his own evil will" "He is
a spirit of eternal existence, subsisting
in and by himself, disregarding the
laws Of G od-for he is almost his equal !"
Is not this the true portrait of the devil
of popular beliefp Shifting Gods sub
jects at his own evil will, ravishing
him-not of half his kingdom-but of
untold millions of his own children, and
tormenting and torturing them for
ever, and God unable to help them :?
The smoke Of their torment, the walls
of their despair ascending forever be-
fore his face, and yet God absolutely
unable to repair the evil God, and
Christ, and the angels, and spirits of
just men made perfect, all striving to
save men from such doom, all SORROW
ing because of it, and yet unable to
even so much as mitigate its horrors.
Or shall we accept Jonathan Edwards
idea that God, and Christ, and the an
gels, and the saints in heaven do not
desire to save men from such a des-
tiny? However we take it, it is i'm
possible to deny that the Satan Of the
book Of Job is not the devil of the pop
ular creeds. The devil of the orthodox
faith is not restricted by the will of
the Almighty unless we say that if it
were not for Gods efforts in behalf of
some of the human race, the devil would
have them all. So far there may be a
restriction. The devil of popular be-
lief IS liable to resist Gods reparation
of the evil he does" Therefore, past
all doubt or discussion, the Satan of the
Bible is not the devil of the popular
faith. Therefore, too, we believe, what
Monsieur de Harlez says, that evil,
whether personifed or not, whether
called simply evil, or called devil, is
San instrument of the will of the AL
mighty" restricted within the limits
traced by the will of God;" that it can
not overstep those limits, and can,
therefore, do no wrong to the human
race which God cannot repair. There
fore, again, we believe and have always
contended that the Satan Of the Bible
is not the devil of orthodoxy, but that
this devil is heather conception en-
grated upon Christianity by corrup.
ton of the true idea. 1t does seem
that the darkness of error is being dis
PEELED, and the day-dawn of truth is
swiftly advancing toward its MONDAY.
